UNCL3: lols... Geographical terms are different from Dictionary Meaning... Rotation of the Earth is different from Revolution of the Earth... check your Geography Text... There are numerous Scientific terms that are not present in CONVENTIONAL DICTIONARY... We learn everyday... Neither am I too big to be CORRECTED 4 Likes |

TruthSeeker1: Why do Earth and the other planets rotate at all? It will help to understand how our solar system formed. Almost five billion years ago, our solar system had its beginnings as a vast cloud of dust and gas. The cloud began to collapse, flattening into a giant disk that rotated faster and faster, just as an ice skater spins faster as she brings her arms in. The Sun formed at the center, and the swirling gas and dust in the rest of the spinning disk clumped together to produce the planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. The reason so many objects orbit the Sun in nearly the same plane (called the ecliptic) and in the same direction is that they all formed from this same disk. credit:NASA 2 Likes |

flokii:This is the most accurate reply on this thread. The monicker that wrote about the earth experiencing night and day at different time is so wrong. There are places on earth that do not always experience night, so will that mean they won't experience pre-meridian (pm)? Many people didn't pay attention in geography class. |
